thanks for the heads up. I got to at least try something like this. I know they make skies for planes....I'm inspired...
those tracks are off the hook as well....so cool...

that is one of the coolest builds I have seen yet. Do you need an old ski kit or can you do this in current parts?

Thanks for the heads up on the chassis name, now I know what it should look like assembled, I am missing the support rods.
As far as the mid motor mount, I completely overlooked battery placement. I am going to have to rethink things, thanks.

FILE0011.JPG FILE0010.JPG I recently purchased a rc10 that was built as a sprint car. The nose plate is off center (not in pics), and the aluminum chassis is an aftermarket brand that I am not familiar with. My plan is to rebuild the car like a DS with a home made carbon fiber chassis, custom front...

Just sold a TQ on e-bay about 3 weeks ago, I never even heard of it till of picked one up locally. Post pics of your project, it would be great to watch the progress...good luck.

sidwinder body, that's what is was called. Was is a carbon fiber chassis? I see black a arms as well, were they stock in that color or did you dye them?

that body is rare.. look up associated TQ

This rc10 of e-bay looks a lot like what you are thinking about building...

It looks like one buggy has rear springs in the front end shocks. If you have the shorter springs you might want to switch it out, the buggy will sit better and be properly assembled.

how did you weld it together? I have played with this in the past and just ended up melting the tubing. I had considered bonding it together with an epoxy, but I don't know much about it.

Post a pic when your done, I would love to see what I missed out on....slightly bitter...did you pick up the other buggy he has as well?

Nice...i was close on that deal...good score though. Where the rims in as good as condition as they looked? I have had the conversion kit in the past, just never seen the aluminum rims for it...very cool. Do you have plans for a build?

not too sure about the buggy. I was looking to purchase it bec. it was so different...I waited too long...rookie mistake...
It looked like a collection of parts put together....never wait!!!

good to know, thanks for the info...
